M23 - Confused
M23, based in Bangalore.
When I first moved here, I had a Honda SP 125. It didn’t take long to realise it doesn’t quite fit this city. I’m from a place where bike culture isn’t a big thing, but in Bangalore, you notice it immediately. It’s not about comparing with others, it’s more about how your own expectations shift.
Over the past three months, commuting daily, I’ve seen a lot of bikes. A few stood out, but the one that really stuck with me is the Honda CB350RS. I’ve always been sure I don’t want a Royal Enfield. The other options I’m considering are the Triumph Speed 400 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. They’re more expensive than the CB350RS, but still tempting.
That said, there’s something about the CB350RS I can’t really explain. Every time I see one on the road, it just feels right.
My priorities are clear: reliability, comfortable upright riding posture, and something practical for daily use. I’m not into aggressive riding. I usually stay between 40–70 km/h, occasionally touching 100. I’ll be riding around 30 km daily, so I need something that balances practicality with a bit of passion.
Would appreciate honest feedback.
